Since days I get broken or strange values returned by twitch api for channel popularity, example:
Metro Exodus, showing popularity=0
{“name”:“Metro Exodus”,“popularity”:0,“_id”:497410,“giantbomb_id”:59897,“box”:{“large”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Metro%20Exodus-272x380.jpg",“medium”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Metro%20Exodus-136x190.jpg”,“small”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Metro%20Exodus-52x72.jpg”,“template”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Metro%20Exodus-{width}x{height}.jpg”},“logo”:{“large”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Metro%20Exodus-240x144.jpg”,“medium”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Metro%20Exodus-120x72.jpg”,“small”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Metro%20Exodus-60x36.jpg”,“template”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Metro%20Exodus-{width}x{height}.jpg”},“localized_name”:"Metro Exodus”,“locale”:“”}
or Anthem (too low/broken value ?)
{“name”:“Anthem”,“popularity”:88,“_id”:460696,“giantbomb_id”:46632,“box”:{“large”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Anthem-272x380.jpg",“medium”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Anthem-136x190.jpg”,“small”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Anthem-52x72.jpg”,“template”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-boxart/Anthem-{width}x{height}.jpg”},“logo”:{“large”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Anthem-240x144.jpg”,“medium”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Anthem-120x72.jpg”,“small”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Anthem-60x36.jpg”,“template”:“https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/ttv-logoart/Anthem-{width}x{height}.jpg”},“localized_name”:“Anthem”,“locale”:"”}
The values doesnt correspong anymore problerly with the sorting, showing weird vales jumping around, some very low or 0, even the game has thousands of viewers:
Then randomly the value is correct again and then broken. For example the metro value is working again after 20 minutes of making this post.
